RE: Need inexpensive setup...
Thanks Rob. I will take your advice to heart. The flying won't be an issue for me. The camera will be mounted in a very large Midwest Aerostar 80" span and pointed straight down. I will have a ground crew taking care of the capture.
At this field I recovered a ducted fan jet, I put in due to an untimely tuned pipe disconnect, 10 months later and the engine, retracts, servos, receiver and wheel were all still good. The plane would have been good if ants hadn't moved into the foam. While recovering useful items is nice, the search is just plain fun. Nobody likes to walk away without ever recovering their plane.
